The Emperor stirkes back

Its been a crazy few months but im finally actually back on track. I said in a previous blog about how i was going to have to get a job and all sorts but fortunately for me i didn't have to. I did but 1 week was enough for me.

3 weeks ago i found out that at the empire casino, every 20 pound rebuy tournament earns you points for the satellite for the world series seat in September. You basically earn 1 point for entering and on the final table you get an extra point for each step up. So you get 1 extra for coming 9th then 2 for 8th and so on.Then the top 18 ranking get play the satellite at the end of the month.

In the last week of last month i final tabled every day and cashed 1st to 4th. This got me 2nd on the ranking and so i qualified for the satellite.

following that week for 2 more weeks accept for 3 days i have cashed every single time and have earned the name The emperor lol.

Unlucky for me 1 of the 3 times i didn't cash was yesterday i don't know what i did to upset my luck but it just wasn't my day at all. I wish it wasn't yesterday as last night i also was playing in the satellite for the seat in the world series. I had aces 4 times got cracked four times once with 10 5 off suit. queens vs jacks hits jack kings vs jacks hits jack ace king vs jack 10 hits a ten.... I could go on! It was upsetting but at the end of the day we all have days where our bad luck just cant be out played by skill.

But today i was determined to break the curse early and immediately.! keeping a positive mind and feeling fresh i played game and i got my rightful seat on the final table! I made 1 bad fold and that cost my chance of coming 2nd and i made a push and got called with slightly less bollox which hit and i came 3rd. But i was pleased.

So the emperor strikes back and im on the ranking 1st with a monster lead so ima get my ticket next month! lol
